We'll continue with the number bonds and split 3 ways. Following additions to today:
Record scores of first game of split 3 ways between each person and get them to write their name on the score chart (which will be a table allowing two games). We can ask what they want to do with results.
The starting game can look at numicon representations of numbers. I might get out the Venn Diagram (where is that?) circles. We can look at what numbers they represent, get explorers to group them.
Hopefully they will at some point group them as odd and even whether using the words or not. I can then get them to put them in order, and find number bonds to different numbers. Get them to see if they notice anything about the numbers they need to put together.
It might be good to have two groups working on those and one group working with groups and adding to 20. I would have to think carefully about them changing around and getting a chance to do each activity.
The investigation would also be good. Finding how many ways numbers can be split. We could look at it in terms of the shapes but also just as numbers such as would happen in Kakuro.
I would like to see if I could demonstrate Kakuro with blocks and get them to explore some possibilities.
Same ending game but I will get them to put them in piles of ten and record the number there at the start. We can update as we go through asking others what has changed.
A domino game would be really good where they go around the park finding dominoes with particular traits

The domino sorting can just be looking at totals, and each side and seeing if odd or even. We can use a grid like the adding to 100 grid.
ReplyDeleteI should edit that to include the shapes. That could be useful for getting kids to have the idea of shapes having a value. It adds the problem of each shape's value varying of course.
